To classify the carbohydrate, we need to identify its structure and the number of sugar molecules it contains. Here's a brief overview of the classification:

1. Monosaccharide: The simplest form of carbohydrate, consisting of a single sugar molecule (e.g., glucose, fructose).

2. Disaccharide: A carbohydrate formed by the bonding of two monosaccharides (e.g., sucrose, lactose).

3. Oligosaccharide: Typically includes 3 to 10 monosaccharides.

4. Trisaccharide: A specific type of oligosaccharide containing exactly three monosaccharide units.

5. Polysaccharide: A carbohydrate composed of long chains of monosaccharide units (e.g., starch, glycogen, cellulose).

Final Answer

If it has three sugar molecules, classify it as a Trisaccharide. If it contains one, two, or more than three, classify it accordingly (Monosaccharide, Disaccharide, or Polysaccharide).
